Royal Bank Of Scotland, Church Street, Randolph Street, Buckhaven

The Royal Bank of Scotland, located at the corner of Church Street and Randolph Street in Buckhaven, is a late 19th-century building that serves as both a bank and a bank house. It is two stories tall and features three bays, along with a single-storey wing and an ogee dome on the corner site. The exterior is finished in stugged ashlar with raised margins, while the sides are rendered. There is a band course and an eaves cornice. The entrance on Church Street has an architraved and pedimented doorcase, and all ground floor openings are block pedimented, with stone mullions.

On the north elevation facing Randolph Street, the central bay at ground level has a broad two-leaf panelled timber door, with a fixed window to the right and regular fenestration above. The bay to the left of centre has a slightly set-back rounded corner with a bracketed pediment over a fixed window that was converted from a door, and a tripartite window on the first floor that breaks the eaves in a panelled frieze and features a finialled ogee dome. The single-storey piended wing on the outer right has a fixed bipartite window.

The east elevation facing Church Street has a panelled timber door with a plate glass fanlight in the centre bay at ground level, flanked by bipartite windows. There are discrete name boards on the band course and regular fenestration on the first floor, with a banded blocking course above that leads to a lead dome topped with a decorative cast-iron finial.

The windows are timber sash and case, featuring 4-pane and plate glass glazing patterns, except where noted. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are coped ashlar stacks with some polygonal cans, as well as ashlar-coped skews with moulded and fluted finials.

Inside, the bank features decorative cornices and a timber-balustered staircase. The boundary walls along Church Street are low, flat-coped, and rendered, with inset railings.
